WORCESTER -- Carolyn Collamer of Dracut, a senior Communication Sciences and Disorders major at Worcester State University, is in a 2013-2014 fellowship program at Behavioral Concepts Incorporated, a Worcester-based social-service organization for autistic children.

After attending many hours of comprehensive training for specific staff requirements, Applied Behavior Analysis technique certifications, and nonviolent crisis-prevention and intervention training, Collamer was required to pass an exam to begin child-specific orientation.

As an intern, she is able to develop and implement skills that will help with future career goals.

The internship and fellowship programs at BCI help ensure that Worcester State students are prepared to be the next generation of clinicians and behaviorists dealing with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders.
